Short answer: if the building went up, or was refurbished, before 2000 and you’re disturbing its fabric, yes. Here’s which survey, what it costs and what happens next.
01
Which survey do you need?
A management survey covers a building in normal use. Before renovation, extension or demolition you need the more intrusive refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on, it’s a legal requirement under CAR 2012 for contractors to have this information.
02
What a pre-renovation survey costs
Management surveys start around £195 for domestic properties; refurbishment surveys cost more depending on scope. Individual samples are around £125. Set against a build stopping mid-programme, it is a small cost by comparison. Figures are industry guide rates, not Innov8 Group prices, we're typically cheaper. Contact us for an official quotation.
03
If the result is positive
Positive doesn’t automatically mean removal: sound, undisturbed material outside the work zone can be managed in place. Where removal is needed, you get a written quotation and the documentation for the work when it’s done.
Send a photo for initial advice. Straightforward enquiries can usually be quoted within 24 hours. More technical works may require a site visit and assessment before we finalise the quotation.
